The article reports on violence at the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, on August 12, 2017, that has become a new touchstone in the nation’s debate over racism, free speech and violence. White nationalists and counterprotesters clashed in one of the bloodiest fights to date over the removal of Confederate monuments across the South. U.S. president Donald Trump said that not all of those people were white supremacists.
